Katniss POV

Sunday morning, I wake up early in the morning and go hunting with Gale. Even though I know he loves me, we are still friends.

I start walking and soon get to the fence. I listen for electricity; which, as always, is off. I slip under it and go to mine and Gale's meeting point.

"Hey, Catnip." Gale says.

"Hey." I say and we start hunting.

After a few hours we sit on the meadow and eat berries.

"Why won't you give me a chance, Catnip?" Gale suddenly asks.

"Gale... don't take this the wrong way but.... I don't love you that way." I say.

"But you said that yours and BakerBoy's love was an act! Was that a lie?"

"No, but I'm not sure of my feelings for him anymore."

"Then give me a chance and I'll make you forget all about him. One chance. That's all I'm asking for."

"No, Gale. I'm sorry."

"Can you at least think about it?"

"No. It's too risky."

"Then how come Peeta's sorry ass is dating Delly."

"Well, then he can get his family killed." I say and storm off.

When I get "home," I'm about to get in through the back door, but then I notice light from Peeta's backyard. I look there to find him snuggling with Delly on a soft-looking matress with many pillows on it. They're watching a romantic movie from before the Dark Days.

Peeta whispers something in Delly's ear, and she whispers something back. Next thing I know, I'm watching them making out. Their kiss gets so passionate that Peeta starts hovering over Delly and caressing her waist under the shirt.
I bet they said they love each other.

I storm into the house, slamming the door behind me.

"Ugh!!!" I yell and fall to the floor crying.

I cry my heart out because I don't understand what I'm feeling.

"Katniss? What's wrong?" Prim asks me.

"Peeta.... Delly..." I say between sobs.

"I see."

"What is this that I'm feeling, Prim?"

"It's called jealous, Katniss."

"But why am I feeling it?"

"Because you're in love with him."

"That's not possible. How do you know anyway?"

"Because I feel the same thing every time Rory dates a girl."

"You like Rory?"

"Yeah."

"How come I never knew this?"

"You were always to busy with something."

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. You're the one who kept this family going." Prim says and goes to her room.

Actually it was Peeta who kept this family going. I think to myself.
